Medical Advances & Procedures
Thomas Jefferson University researchers provide the first evidence that RNA segments can be written back into DNA, which potentially challenges the central dogma in biology and could have wide implications affecting many fields of biology. #RNAsequence #DNAEngineering
Visual sclerotherapy treatment is the best remedy for spider veins and smaller varicose veins.
Researchers in Israel claim to have partially reversed cellular aging using a somewhat controversial treatment. While only a small study, it improves our understanding of the aging process in humans. #longevity #antiaging
A new study from Tel Aviv University (TAU) and the Shamir Medical Center in Israel indicates that hyperbaric oxygen treatments (HBOT) in healthy aging adults can stop the aging of blood cells and reverse the aging process. In the biological sense, the adults’ blood cells actually grow younger as the treatments progress.
Here are some of the major breakthroughs in the medical space that were inspired by technology.

This research if developed, can help patients with serious neurological damage but there are concerns #mindreading #ethicalminefield
An implant, a programmable medical robot can gradually lengthen tubular organs by applying traction forces — stimulating tissue growth in stunted organs without interfering with organ function or causing apparent discomfort, report researchers. #tissueregeneration
Here is a list of examples of Ancient medicines that can be so effective, so much that they can be used as an alternative to drugs we use today! #AncientMedicine
Michio Kaku discusses the real possibility of eternal youth. Today we have two kinds of immortality: digital immortality and genetic/biologic immortality. #eternalyouth
Thanks to the continuous development of the medical industry, unbelievable medical procedures are now possible for the world to take advantage of. Check out this infographic.
Researchers at the Institute of Life in Athens, Greece, announced April 9 that medical history had been made with the birth of a healthy baby boy to a 32-year-old woman who had experienced several failed cycles of in-vitro fertilization (IVF). The boy was born with DNA from three different parents.
Physicist Nassim Haramein talks “brainlessness,” #consciousness and how it’s possible to think and function without a brain (something to THINK about!)
Scientists in Israel say a cure for cancer is only a year away. Could it really be true?
A new study from The University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston has uncovered why some people that have brain markers of Alzheimer’s never develop the classic dementia that others do. The study is now available in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease. Alzheimer’s disease, the most common form of dementia, affects more than 5 million Americans. People suffering from Alzheimer’s develop a buildup of two proteins that impair communications between nerve cells in the brain — plaques made of amyloid beta proteins and neurofibrillary tangles made of tau proteins.
